 A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when he
 found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper
 in his hand.
 

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy."

D.A.R.E. to Keep Kids Off Eggs

[To the best of my knowledge and belief, the Libertarian Party did not invent this story as a satire or hoax. The government really does intend to "protect" us from egg abuse.]
  NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY

	WASHINGTON, DC -- A new federal plan to require a
	cigarette-style health warning on egg cartons --
	that's right: egg cartons! -- proves that
	government bureaucrats think Americans are too 
	dumb to boil an egg.
	
	And that's no yolk.
	
	"The eggheads in Washington, DC have gone too
	far," charged Bill Winter, Director of
	Communications for the Libertarian Party. "This
	new regulation -- which assumes that Americans
	can't cook breakfast without instructions from the
	FDA -- shows what happens when bureaucrats'
	judgment has been fried, scrambled, and poached by
	too much power."
	
	This month, the Food and Drug Administration
	announced that it wants to require all egg cartons
	to carry a new warning label, which will lecture
	consumers about the danger of improperly cooked
	eggs.
	
	The label would read: "For your protection: Keep
	eggs refrigerated; cook eggs until yolks are firm;
	and cook foods containing eggs thoroughly."
	
	The President's Council on Food Safety is also
	getting into the act: It has announced it will
	come up with its own "strategic plan" to control
	egg safety by November 1.

The Magnificent Oscar

A Few Lesser-Known Gems from Oscar Fingal O'Flaherty Wills Wilde

There are two ways of disliking poetry. The first is to just dislike it; the other is to read Alexander Pope.

Are the commentators on Hamlet really mad or only pretending to be mad?

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.

Disobedience was the Original Virtue.

FEAR AND LOATHING IN WASHINGTON

From the London Times 09-July-1999

FROM DAMIAN WHITWORTH IN WASHINGTON

IT IS known as the "anything but intercourse" approach to sex. There are FEARS that oral sex is becoming so commonplace among young American teenagers that it is regarded as standard behaviour.

In one recent incident, the head teacher of a school in a Washington suburb WARNED PARENTS that a dozen girls of 13 and 14 had been having oral sex with two or three male pupils. When one girl was confronted by her parents, she shrugged and said: "What's the big deal? President Clinton did it."

During the Lewinsky scandal there was a national debate about how much children should know about sex and how the explicit acts described in the Starr report should be explained to the curious. The phrase "oral sex" became widely used in the media, rather than a euphemism.

Sexual health EXPERTS are ALARMED . "I've been teaching in schools for 30 years. I am receiving an increasing number of inquiries about incidents of oral sex among young adolescents, at parties and occasionally at school. Kids are not just asking about oral sex anymore; some are doing it," said Deborah Roffman, a consultant working in the Washington area.

The links between Mr Clinton's behaviour and the trends have yet to be proved and experts believe that fears of pregnancy and AIDS are other factors in popularising oral sex among teenagers.

"It's now the expected minimum behaviour. The kids say if you are not going to have sex, at least do this," said Michael Schaffer, a health education supervisor.
